I've passed the grassy spot where this stone lies many a time ,but today for some reason I lifted the grass and found this beauty . It's only a few yards from another rock with deep cups which ws found about two years ago . Neither are that typical for the area . Comments (1)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
